When it comes to foundation assets, the continuity of public benefit and the underlying “practice what you preach” approach are all too often left out of conversations between financial advisors and their clients. Yet, contributing to the public benefit encompasses strategic harmonization of asset management and grant-making.
Harmonizing investments requires analysis of risks and opportunities presented by emerging macroeconomic trends such as water utilization, land use, workers’ and human rights, climate change, population growth and the alleviation of poverty. While not yet widely recognized in the financial services industry, these trends are impacting finance now, and will do so increasingly in the future.
Learn how innovative strategies and new investment opportunities can be used to align investment practices with mission objectives to sustain the public good.
